Revanth throws ‘white challenge’ against drug abuse

Wants KTR, Vishweshwar Reddy to take up the challenge

Allegations and counter-allegations on drug culture in the State took an interesting turn on Saturday with TPCC president Revanth Reddy throwing a ‘white challenge’, where he wanted politicians and celebrities to undergo drug analysis tests to send a positive message against drug abuse.

“Being role models for youngsters, people in public life should accept my challenge to undergo the tests and invite some more to take up the same,” he said, revealing that he was inviting Municipal Minister K.T. Rama Rao and former Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy to be part of the challenge.

The Congress leader said that he would be present at the Telangana Martyrs’ Memorial at 12 noon on Monday and from there, he would go to any hospital that the Minister suggests for the drug tests. He said that TRS MP Joginapally Santosh has started the Green Challenge inviting celebrities to promote greenery by planting saplings and this ‘white challenge’ was similar to that.
